Have you tried a soft reset on the watch? Another thing to try is to remove the sensors from the watch and then search for them as new sensors.
If you have an ANT USB stick available then I recommend downloading this bit of software:
https://www.thisisant.com/news/simulant-next-generation-ant-simulation-tool-now-available
It allows you to simulate both ANT+ sensors and displays and is very handy for troubleshooting these type of problems. To download it you need to register on the thisisant website but it is free.
Wasn't this discussed sometime back
I know this is an old post but just in case anyone experiences this problem I found a solution that might work.
When I took out the battery the metal insert that holds the battery in the cover also came out, so I just popped it back and refitted the battery cover. Result - Dead pod.
Assuming that this might be why, I took it off and looked again. There are three metal prongs on the metal insert that holds the battery. These need to be lined up with three small indentations in the plastic battery cover. I moved the insert to this position, battery in and it connected first time.
You need to be a bit careful with the metal insert, it is supposed to be stuck to the plastic cover so it wont just fall out. I used tweezers to ease it out.
Hope this helps someone.
